L&T Finance Reports ₹916 Crore Profit, Appoints Prashant Kumar as Director
Consolidated Profit After Tax: ₹915.99 Crore
Consolidated Revenue: ₹5,212.92 Crore
Reader Takeaway: Profitability remains steady, but project finance resolution risks need monitoring.
What just happened
L&T Finance reported a consolidated net profit of ₹915.99 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹5,212.92 crore. On a standalone basis, the company posted a net profit of ₹895.32 crore.
The company's board approved the appointment of Mr. Prashant Kumar as an Additional (Independent) Director for a five-year term. Mr. Kumar has significant experience in the banking sector, including his role in the RBI-backed reconstruction of Yes Bank.
Why this matters
The steady financial performance indicates resilience in L&T Finance's core business operations. The appointment of Mr. Kumar, with his banking expertise, especially from a crisis resolution scenario, is seen as a governance positive. However, asset quality in specific segments like project finance requires attention.
The backstory
L&T Finance is a leading non-banking financial company in India, part of the L&T Group. The company has been focusing on retail, wholesale, and housing finance. Mr. Prashant Kumar was previously the Chief Operating Officer at Yes Bank and played a key role in its turnaround.
What changes now
With the appointment of Mr. Kumar, the company strengthens its board with independent expertise. The re-classification of Nabha Power Limited from 'Promoter Group' to 'Public' category simplifies the shareholding structure. The allotment of shares to employees under stock options is a standard practice.
Risks to watch
Investors should monitor the project finance segment. One account with an outstanding of ₹300.41 crore has a resolution plan under implementation, and another with ₹218.93 crore has seen a failed resolution plan. In co-lending for personal loans, a small portion of loans are non-performing.
Peer comparison
L&T Finance operates in a competitive NBFC landscape. Its profitability and asset quality need to be viewed against peers like HDFC Ltd, Bajaj Finance, and other major NBFCs. The company's consolidated debt-equity ratio of 4.09 is a key metric to watch.
